November 10th - Thanksgiving Dinner

The regular monthly membership meeting of the D.A.R.C. was held at the Diamond Willow Inn on Tuesday, 10 November and inaugurated the first annual D.A.R.C. Thanksgiving Potluck!  Club members enjoyed the typical Thanksgiving meal, with Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and a wonderful selection of sides provided by individual members.  A big 73 goes out to Sherri and Gordon Decker, owners of the hotel, Mrs. Shawna Kinsman, our club "Chef" who cooked the turkey and basics, and to each and every club member who participated and brought in a wide variety of delicious dishes.  A great event was had by all!
